Bobbin assembly

ABSTRACT

A COIL BOBBIN OF UNITARY BODY CONSTRUCTION HAVING A CORE FOR WINDING INSULATED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COIL WIRE BETWEEN OPPOSITELY OPPOSED FLANGES AT EACH END OF THE CORE. THE FLANGES ARE ADAPTED TO RECEIVE TERMINAL LUGS ON A PERIPHERY THEREOF FOR TERMINATING THE WOUND COIL WIRE AND LEAD-IN OR LEAD-OUT WIRES. THE TERMINAL LUGS ARE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE AND ARE ANCHORED ADJACENT THE CORE AND LATERALLY SPACED ALONG THE FLANGE TO PROVIDE READY AUTOMATED WINDING OF PRIMARY OR SECONDARY COILS. A TERMINAL LUG INCLUDES A TANG FOR TERMINATING COIL WIRE AND A TERMINAL HAVING A BODY FOR RECEIVING A LEAD WIRE. THE BODY INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE PROJECTION PARTIALLY BLOCKING PASSAGE OF AN INSERTED LEAD WIRE THROUGH THE BODY, LOCATED AT AN ACUTE ANGLE TO AN AXIS THROUGH THE BODY AND BEING ENGAGEABLE BY A LEAD WIRE INSERTED INTO THE BODY. THE FLEXURE OF THE PROJECTION PERMITS THE LEAD WIRE TO BE INSERTED INTO THE BODY BEYOND THE PROJECTION SO THAT THE   ANGLE AND FLEXURE OF THE PROJECTION RELEASABLY RETAINS THE LEAD WIRE IN AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH THE TERMINAL LUG.

Cl. 317-15 1 SheetDrawing. 10 Pages Specification A coil bobbin of unitary bodyconstruction having a core for winding insulated primary and secondarycoil wire between oppositely opposed flanges at each end of the core.The flanges are adapted to receive terminal lugs on a periphery thereoffor terminating the wound coil wire and lead-in or lead-out wires. Theterminal lugs are electrically conductive and are anchored adjacent thecore and laterally spaced along the flange to provide ready automatedwinding of primary or secondary coils. A terminal lug includes a tangfor terminating coil wire and a terminal having a body for receiving alead wire. The body includes a flexible projection partially blockingpassage of an inserted lead wire through the body, located at an acuteangle to an axis through the body and being engageable by a lead wireinserted into the body. The flexure of the projection permits the leadwire to be inserted into the body beyond the projection so that theangle and flexure of the projection releasably retains the lead wire inan electrical connection with the terminal lug.
